• Lambert's law:
The amount of light absorbed by a colored
solution depends on path length or thickness of the
colored solution
Combined Beer's law & Lambert's law
Amount of light transmitted through a colored
solution decreases exponentially with increase in
concentration of colored solution and decrease in
the path length of thickness of the colored
solution
